Two new genera of cavernicolous Hydrometridae are described from limestone caves in northeastern Brazil: Spelaeometra n. gen., with type species S. gruta n. sp., from the Lapa D’Água do Zezé, Lapa do Nestor, Lapa do Saco Velho, and Lapa do Caboclo caves in Minas Gerais state; and Cephalometra n. gen., with type species C. pallida n. sp., from the Natividade cave in Tocantins state. Both new taxa are flightless, possess reduced eyes, and exhibit other reductional character states linked to life in underground ecosystems. The new taxa are interpreted to be highly aberrant members of the family Hydrometridae, based on the possession of eyes set well forward on the head capsule, the posterior pair of cephalic trichobothria arising from distinct tubercles, the presence of an apical invagination on the fourth antennal segment, and the structure of the male parameres. They are provisionally placed in the subfamily Hydrometrinae based on the apical articulation between the first and second antennal segments. On the basis of a preponderance of shared apomorphic character states these new genera appear most closely allied to Veliometra schuhi Andersen, which is also endemic to Brazil, although currently placed in a different subfamily. Color habitus photographs and line drawings of key characters are provided for both new taxa, accompanied by maps and photographs of the caves in which the species occur.
在巴西东北部的石灰岩洞穴中描述了洞穴水螅科的两个新属:Spelaeometra n.gen.,模式种S.gruta n.sp.,来自米纳斯吉拉斯州的Lapa D‘Água do Zezé、Lapa do Nestor、Lapa do Saco Velho和Lapa do Caboclo洞穴;和来自托坎廷斯州Natividade洞穴的Cephalometra n.gen.,模式种C.pallida n.sp。这两个新分类群都不会飞,眼睛缩小,并表现出与地下生态系统中的生命有关的其他还原特征状态。新的分类群被解释为水螅科的高度异常成员,基于眼睛位于头包膜的前方,由不同的结节产生的后部一对头部毛囊,第四天线节上存在顶端内陷,以及雄性副生殖的结构。根据第一和第二触角节之间的顶端连接,它们被暂时归入水螅亚科。基于共同的变形特征状态的优势,这些新属似乎与巴西的Veliometra schuhi Andersen亲缘关系最为密切,尽管目前被归入另一个亚科。为这两个新分类群提供了彩色栖息地照片和关键人物的线条图,并附有该物种所在洞穴的地图和照片。

The fauna of the Asian mirine plant bug genus Cheilocapsus Kirkaldy, 1902 (Mirinae: Mirini) in the Japanese Ryukyu islands and Taiwan is updated, based mainly on new morphological features. Four species are now recognized, with descriptions of two new species, Cheilocapsus maius sp. n. (from Taiwan) and C. martius sp. n. (Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands of the Ryukyus). An annotated checklist including all known congeners and a key to the four species are provided. The phylogenetic relationship between Cheilocapsus and Pantilius Curtis is argued on the basis of their detailed structures and zoogeographical distribution pattern.

A diagnosis is provided of the cicada genus Muda Distant, 1897, with descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps for the five species found in Sundaland. Three of these, Muda obtusa (Walker, 1858), M. virguncula (Walker, 1856) and M. tua Duffels, 2004, are redescribed. Muda beccarii (Distant, 1888) and M. concolor Distant, 1897 are junior synonyms of M. virguncula. Abroma tahanensis (Moulton, 1923) is transferred to Muda and redescribed. Muda kinabaluana is described as new to science, and is very peculiar, missing the timbals. An identification key is provided. Characters and taxonomic position of Muda kuroiwae (Matsumura, 1913) from the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan are discussed. Muda is characterized by two supposed synapomorphies, viz., the mediodorsal carina of the male pygofer and the movable upper pygofer lobes; these characters are also found in species of Katoa. Further comparative study of Muda and Katoa is needed to reveal their relationships.
